. >> i got a question the other day, and i do work with the nra. somebody said why does the nra keep sending me all those fundraising emails? you are acting like it is always a crisis. exactly. that was my response. in my lifetime, it always has been a crisis. they tried to ban handguns three times since i have been around. they are on this track right now, trying to dance in my automatic rifles. tell me a time when there is not a crisis. that is just one example, but yes. they will always come because it is not about guns. this is about control. >> i want to dovetail on that and say something very controversial, which is the second amendment does not have anything to do with guns, which sounds counterintuitive. but it does not. guns are part of it. it could be a gun, a knife, a arts, what martial the second amendment is about is the fundamental, god-given right of self-defense.
